About Kirwan Tavern
Kirwan Tavern is a local pub on Thuringowa Drive in Kirwan, with a family bistro, a sports bar, a beer garden and play areas. A dedicated functions team looks after events of up to 150 guests across three spaces. Out the back, the Bistro Beer Garden offers an open-air terrace with space to sit, celebrate and dance. It is used for big birthday gatherings and engagement parties, has hosted the odd wedding, and sits close to the playground, which makes it easy for family groups. Inside, the Raised Bistro is a calmer space suited to dinners and formal presentations. It works for work functions, sporting club break-up dinners and birthdays, and the furniture in every area can be set out to suit the event. For food, the tavern offers platters and set menus. Each platter feeds 10 to 12 people, with choices running from fruit, sandwiches and party pies to Asian-style snacks, chicken, meat and hot or cold seafood. The everyday bistro menu covers seafood, steaks, pastas, salads and pub classics. The bar pours a long list of beers on tap, alongside wine from Australian and overseas producers, cider and spirits. The sports bar has lounge seating, large screens showing live sport and TAB facilities for guests who want to keep an eye on the game.
